We’re seeing it with all the fantastic Olympic competitors. They have worked long and hard on their goals, for years. I’m proud of all of them for being

Sometimes we have to try something that appeals to us to find out it’s not a good fit. Years ago when I started in Human Resources, the recruiter role appealed to me.
